Recipe
Fry the onions in a little oil until soft and golden. Add the meat to the onions and
stir-fry until meat is well browned. Add water to cover, and sprinkle in the dried lime
powder, cover the pan and let it simmer for an hour.

Fry leeks lightly until soft. Add spinach and stir-fry for 5-10 minutes until soft and
well mixed. Add them to the stew with salt and pepper and let it simmer for 15 minutes.
Wash and cut in half the pitted prunes, and add to the stew a few minutes before serving.
Serve with white rice.

Method:
Sauté the onions in the cooking oil until golden brown. Add the chicken parts to the
onions. Brown all sides. Add the salt. Add the prunes on top of the chicken. Add the
ground walnuts. Add the pomegranate sauce. Pour the water on top of the ingredients and
let them cook for 20 minutes. The color of the stew
will turn brown and some oil from the walnuts will gather on the top of the mixture. That
is when the stew is ready. Taste the stew and if the taste is too sour you may add some
sugar to taste.

Directions:
Wash the meat and put it in a medium size pot (deezee for traditionalists), half filled
with water, add the beans, the onion, turmeric, black cardamom, salt and pepper and let it
cook for 1-2 hours on medium-low heat. Next, add the potato, rice, and the tomato (they
get too soft too soon if you add them at the beginning), and let it cook on low heat until
all the ingredients are soft.

Strain the soup from the ingredients. Remove the bones from the strained ingredients. Mash
these ingredients finely. Taste a small portion and add more salt/pepper if needed. When
the mixture has a smooth texture, it can be served.

The soup (juice) is also served in a separate bowl. The idea is to mix it with small
pieces of flat bread like Naan.

At the table, this dish is served with Iranian bread, raw onions, radishes and fresh herbs
such as parsley, basil leaves, mint leaves, leeks, etc.
